Citizens United PAC endorses Jim Tracy

The Citizens United Political Victory Fund, a political action committee tied to the well-known conservative organization, has endorsed state Sen. Jim Tracy’s bid for Congress.

The group said Tuesday that it is backing the Shelbyville Republican’s primary campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, R-South Pittsburg. The organization also said it would donate $5,000 to Tracy’s campaign.

“CUPVF has supported Congressman DesJarlais in the past, but can no longer do so because he does not share our conservative values,” said David N. Bossie, president of Citizens United. “Tennessee’s fourth congressional district deserves a strong conservative voice in Washington and Jim Tracy is that candidate.”
